9MM Millenium

KW Gary M · 07-02-2008, 02:58 PM

Anyone own a 9MM Millenium? Any feedback? My main concern is than most of the lower dollar autos I have fired have a very long and very heavy trigger pull. The S&W Sigma's trigger pull is about a mile long before the bang and very heavy. Hi-Point feels more like it was made to crack walnuts when you pull the trigger. I really like everything I see, read and hear about The Millenium as a practice gun and maybe carry under summer clothes but haven't heard anything about the trigger pull. Anyone own one who can give some input?

All three of my Mil Pros, PT111, PT140 & PT145, have basically the same trigger feel. Very long pull but not heavy. But not heavy for me may be too heavy for someone else. The only pistol I own that has a better trigger (for me) is my Colt Defender. Hope that helps a bit.

I had a 40 S&W Millenium and it had a very long and hard trigger. I didnt like it at all. Not sure if the 9mm would be any better. I ended up trading it for a Kel-Tek.

I have the Millenium Pro and I love it!! It was my first pistol, and I have not had an ounce of trouble with it...

It comes highly recommended from me!

Only issue for me was that carry was too bulky. Looking at PT709 SLIM to see if that will work better for me. Love shooting the Mil Pro series; even the PT145 in that package is fun to shoot.

Been looking at the Slim myself. The only thing I can't find in the specs is width. How slim is the Slim?

Depends on which Millennium Pro you get. The 2nd generation Pro
( 'Millennium Pro' is on left side of slide ) is a DAO. Harder pull.
The 3rd generation ( 'Millennium' on left side, '111 PRO' on right side )
is a SA. Still has a long pull, but no real pressure until the end of the pull.
You'd need to shoot both to feel the difference. I had a PT745 Pro that was a 2nd generation. Didn't mind the pull. I actually liked it better
than my 3rd gen. PT145 , which was SA.

From the review in Guns and Ammo Handguns, Aug/Sept 2008.

The thickness is just under one inch. No exact number given. None of my suppliers has one to sell as yet or I would already own it.

I saw that same article. Found it odd that they would review a gun called "The Slim" and not give the width.

LOL Yes, I know what you mean. Even if it were 1" wide it would be fine I think. Since they say it is a bit under 1" wide I am not too concerned anymore. One of my suppliers is checking availability today so maybe I'll have some sort of shipping date soon. I anticipate paying $300 to $325 for mine. The MSRP is $375.

I have a Taurus Millenium PT140 Pro, have had it for about a year and have never had a problem of any kind with it. Fits the hand good and shoots very well at 15 yards with good accuracy. Has a short trigger pull on the first shot and what i consider a light pull to fire. Recoil is not bad, but you better have a good grip on it cause it can be mean if you don't. I consider it a very dependable weapon and carry it quite often as a defense gun.
